Tecamseh,s Pipc.

U The great Indian chieftain Teeumseh owned remarkablepipe. similar to that described in Hiawatha," though api ar- ently of still harder material. It was only recent. y shown me as 6 curiosity.
 The pipe IS queer piece of mechan- ism, made of black flint stone, rather light aud susceptible of polish. similar to rutta-T ercha, It is four md one-half inches in length from the top O. the owl to the length of the shank.
 The bowl Is iug-shaped, about two in- ches long, and the shank is made upon the plan of the bit of Q tomahawk, and blunt on the end with three grooves. The edges are bound with metallic sub- stance. probably pewter, and he sides and bowl are curiously and very ingen- iously inlaid with the same metal.
 The figures of the inlaying are regular, nnd indicate an accurate mathematic calculation. representing stars. hearts, curious circles and various angles,
 The bowl is topped and bound with lhe same metal The diameter of the oUwl at the bulge IS an inch and lhree-fo. .rths, aud the cavity is eleven sixteenthS of an inch in diametec, and :hree inches to the stem hole, and will hold as much as the ordinary meer. 'chaum pipe.-(Chicago Current.

 Tn the distance we see long freight train moving Rcross the plateau. It Is composed of cumbersome carts, each drawn by six mules. - = These carts are some fines ten feet wide, with three shafts rnade of hewn timber, about six inches square. The wheels are aoout as high as those of .he old-time log cart. and arc often run without tires. but in this case each fell Toe Is from six to ten inches. square, so tires are not needed.
 Our form of wagon bod Is unknown here, but in place of it they build Q 6ingle room house on a bala.ce over the axle. using the rear half of tho shafts for sllls. It is built of square timber or round poles. with floor and wall made of green cowskln. They arc some ines fifteen feet high, and ar1 usually cov- cred with kind of coarse bagging There is no door to the structure; i; hence everything must be loaded in over the top. at the gable ends.
 When long caravan composed of these carts is seen moving slowly ovor the plain, each loaded with almost every class and kind of products k, own to the tropic, one can then form better idea of theresourcesofthisc country but when we look at the tackle of the mules and the old and ancient garb of their drivers and the ranchero, we can form still better idea of the harness fashions of antiquity,

that point. He proceeded to read from this
communication, showing that very small pro-
portion of the students at these agricultural col
leges were studying agriculture. The figures In
Alabama were 10 out of 145; in Arkansas, none
out of SO; in California. out of 243; IN Colorado
out of go. and sc Statements showing that
these statistics were misleading were made by
Messrs George, Frye, Berry, Hoar Blair, In
gals, Teller and others
Mr. Vest said he had resorted to the best
source of information the subject--the Com
missioner of Education: if the statistics fur
nished were not grossly false and misleading
they made lamentable showing to the inter
est taken by the people of the United States in
agricultural education.
Mr. Morrill,, the author of the original aeri-
cultural college bill, explained what the object
of that bill was. 1t had never been intended
that students at those colleges should graduate
as farmers They were intended for the double
purpose of teaching agriculture and the mechan-
ic arts.
After a long discussion and the offering Of,
and voting on, a large number Of amendments,
Mr.. Hawley offered substitute for the bill, and
on his motion the bill AND substitute were or
dered printed, and the matter went over till to-
morrow.

The State Soldiers. Monument.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journals:
The evident purpose of the member of the
Legislature who introduced the bill providing
for the erection of four State monuments, at as
many different points, is to pave the way
for opposition to an appropriation at all for
this purpose, although the gentleman's party
pledged itself through its last State convention
to support the measure. 1t furthermore shows
the unreasonable jealousy some of the mem
bers never loose an opportunity of airing. when
anything is proposed that will beautify and
adorn our capital city. No other point should
be thought OF in connection with
the building of, not monument,
which would at best represent an investment OF
dead capital, but a memorial hallr should be
erected on Circle Park in such form as to utilize
1t for centuries to come as the military head
quarters OF the State. A building with an as.
meetings of the Grand Army while it exists and
where all our "old battle flags" baptized in the
blood of our comrades. can be collected and pre-
served, and where the archives and other effects
OF the Ct. A. r. can be placed and cared for by
the State and Kept in view of our children'a
children for generations to come as reminders Of
the price of liberty and free government to our
people. On monument but few names OF
prominence could necessarily appear, while
hall can be so arranged, into the walls Of which
tablets he placed for each county, on which
the names Of every officer and soldier from
each county in the State killed during the war
can be engraved. A memorial hall can be made
to express thousand times more than monu-
mental shaft. Both of the great parties, in their
last platforms expressed themselves in favor Of
this measure End the unanimous sentiment OF
the surviving comrades of our State is now IN
favor of one grand monument or memorial hall
that will be honor to this great State an
honor to the heroic dead who gave her an inn
perishable name and teacher of patriotism
and love of country to our sons
and daughters generations after we have passed
away. l am one of those who believe in build
ing up and identifying capital city. and that
Circle Park in Indianapolis, is the only place in
the State that should be taken into considera-
ton as site for the proposed monumental hall.
Every comrade in the State ought to at once urge
the members of the Legislature to pass the bill
appropriating not less than 5000, 900, and COM
mence the work as soon as plans can be prepared
and accepted. G. A POWER

70 the Editor of the indianapolis JournaE
Your reference to the appointment Of Mr..
Frank Fish to the cierkship Of the Printing
Board, this morning, is neither wise nor fit for
these reasons: Mr.. Fish is Republican. and,
certainly. has the same right to aspire to this
place as any other man; he is we'll qualified; his
character is unimpeachable. The fact that he
was appointed by the votes of Democrats ought
not to be fatal Most people, even Republicans
will accept votes when they can get them honor
ably. II the Democrats have happened upon q
fit appointment, there need be no such urgency
as to hurl the incumbent out at noon the next
day. Let all things be done decently and in
order. I submit, further this manner Of speak
ing is not the way to hold man and his friends
to the party. Mr.. Fish and his friends land he
has friends) are as good Republicans as any
body, and, therefore, ought to receive fair treat
ment at the hands Of Republicans.

The bill now before the General Assembly an.
propriating large amount of money for the
bulldngof State Soldiers and Sailors Orphans
Home suggests the history of such institutions
under State management The uniform expe
rience is that they are neglected, mismanaged
and abused. The notorious history Of our own
State Orphans Home Is the most conspicuous
example in point It has been q record
of children huddled, regardless Of SEX in
ireiess rooms, underfed. poorly clad, starved,
and even debauched. Pennsylvania has tho
same record. There the children were found to
be SO underfed, so literally starved, that their
little frames were hardly more than skeletons
